PROGRAMMING

“More on That,” a YouTube series from Spectrum News, premiered Monday.

The series features long-form reporting on issues that impact California. Topics span housing, health care, big tech, agriculture and the impacts of climate change.

“California’s biggest stories rarely have simple explanations, and that is exactly the gap ‘More On That’ is designed to fill,” said Seth Katz, senior director of production at Spectrum Networks. “Being digital-first allows us to reach more viewers while giving a glimpse of the type of reporting that can be found on Spectrum News every day, providing real context on the issues affecting the lives of Californians.”

Emmy Award-winning journalist Lisa Lang will contribute to reporting, alongside journalists across the state, including Brent Cannon in Fresno, Mary Strong in Palm Springs, Muna Sadek in Sacramento, Raquel Maria Dillon and Jack Molmud in San Francisco, with additional journalists based in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Luis Obispo.

The stories will be posted regularly to the Spectrum News California YouTube channel. A new program recapping the week’s coverage airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on Spectrum News networks.
